Heritage Large Fowl - Phase II

[gjensen]

I have kept a naked rubber chicken in my coop for many years who has a second place ribbon around his neck, and a "Bad attitude" coop tag.Seems to work.

With people and animals, I prefer to give no warning. I do not want their behavior modified, and let them show their true colors. LOL.

I prefer the inspiration method with my Buffs, George. They take the hint.You've seen them.

I do not think they need any inspiration. I think they stand well enough on their own. I am impressed every time I see them. Makes me want to get NY Red's ax and go deal with all of mine. LOL.

Thanks.

Yes, the cockerel has started to cross the line between "attitude" and aggression. He used to back off when I gave him the stink eye. Now he only backs off if I have a stick with me. Even then, if I have to do anything in the pen so my attention is distracted, he will attempt to flog me. Every couple of days he manages to connect. Today he hit me in a place that still hurts several hours later. So he is on the dinner list and his offspring in the incubator are on the watch list. Attitude is welcome. Aggression against people is not allowed. The other four cockerels are just fine. This one is trying my patience. He will make a great stew.

I have to say that it is my worst fear that one of my Langshans would one day knock into my knee and somehow disable me by clawing my face apart. Then I die a slow death by being picked clean by starving birds...

Good think I don't have to worry about that at all in any of my pens. They get 2 chances. The first one is a practice run...second time and they wind up as a delicious and revenge-filled dinner.

You may not know that I'm a retired Mental Health professional. If that's really a fear of yours I'd be willing to come out of retirement on a limited basis to try to help you with it. You seem so well grounded otherwise that I'm sure it would be easy for you to work your way past this.

LOL! Only if you can help me with my ridiculous and heart-crippling fear of spiders. And since well know the human world will end with the zombie apocalypse, I don't see needing any mental assistance with that area....

We can do a package deal! Although I have been working on the spider thing with my wife for 34 years with limited success.
On an unbelieveable related note I saw poll results recently that indicated 12% of adult Americans believed a Zombie Apocalypse was a real possibility. I don't think the schools are doing their job very well.
